Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current research status, hotspots, and trends of self-advocacy among patients with chronic diseases, and to provide a reference for conducting research on self-advocacy in chronic diseases.Methods:A computer-based search was conducted in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, and the Web of Science Core Collection for literature related to self-advocacy among patients with chronic diseases, with the time frame from database inception to October 1, 2024. The CiteSpace 6.3.R1 software was used to perform visual analysis on publication volume, countries, institutions, authors, keywords, and citation status.Results:A total of 721 articles were included in the study. The country with the largest number of publications related to self-advocacy among patients with chronic diseases was the United States. Authors and journals were mainly from the fields of psychology and sociology. Research hotspots mainly included women, cancer, breast cancer, quality of life (health-related quality of life), cancer screening, and individual experiences. Future research trends are expected to focus on influencing factors and theoretical research, impacts on medical decision-making, psychological and social support, as well as the development of scales and assessment tools of self-advocacy.Conclusions:Research on self-advocacy in China started relatively late. It is suggested that in the future, domestic scholars conduct multi-center and large-sample studies on self-advocacy among populations in different regions and with various types of chronic diseases.
